Manchester City boss Roberto Mancini insists he hasn't forgotten AS Roma midfielder David Pizarro.

Mancini signed Pizarro on loan from Roma in January and the manager said the Chilean midfielder will have a role to play this season.

"David is OK. He played his last game at the end of November. He is maybe not 100% and needs to work but maybe he can play the next game. We have 13 Premier League games and another seven or eight games in the Europe League if we get to the final. He has experience and quality so can be an important player."
